Have you seen the April issue of Surfing Life yet?

(Posted on) March 12, 2006, 6:39 PM On sale from March 10th! Have you seen the April issue of Surfing Life yet?
I, Nishii, am taking part in a trip to Hainan Island, China, a popular destination right now. Last December, I went on a trip with two pro surfers of the same age, Yasu (Inaba Pro) from Chiba DEEP SURF and Naoto (Suzuki Pro) from Izu REAL SURF.
The waves were amazing, and I was surprised that no one was surfing there anyway.
The only surfers I met there were one Chinese person, and the two Japanese guides who showed me around.
It's a shame that Chinese people don't surf when there are so many waves.
Recently, he has been in even better shape and has become addicted to riding, so these are the first photos of him being shown in Japan!
There is also a double page spread featuring water shots of the playboard and my photographer, CHIAR.
It also includes photos of riding the ever-popular Aviso. Please take a look, or rather, everyone, please buy it! Soon, we will be posting a detailed account of our trip to Hainan Island, China, on this site's 24's Endless Johnny page, so please take a look. We'll also be sharing a little bit of the inside story of the trip!

After the last session, we will now fly to Japan.

I went to Bubbles Point again this morning. I woke up before dawn, had coffee and donuts loaded onto the boat, and headed out on a 30-minute boat ride. We arrived at the break at dawn and jumped into the empty sea. The session lasted about two hours. Although the size is smaller than yesterday, the quality is still the same. The rider is Mayhem. After the last session, we packed up our boards and luggage and flew on a chartered plane from Tero Island to Padang, then from Padang to Jakarta, and from Jakarta to Haneda. I'll be working at Luvsurf next week, so please come and meet me. https://youtu.be/GkyLh4lGddo

Private session at the high quality reef break "Bubbles"!

Tomorrow is the day I return to Japan, so today was my last day to surf all day. The waves were still big enough so I left early in the morning and went to a new right break reef called Bubbles. This is a reef break for experts, with waves hitting the slab and suddenly creating swells that double up and take off. The waves came suddenly, similar to the feeling of a wave pool, and it was a powerful break that quickly picked up speed even after a risky takeoff. We had a private session on some amazing waves, and the waves were so good that we went back there again in the afternoon to take some photos. I rode LOST's "RNF'96" POLY/MADE IN JAPAN. The waves were so good that I decided to get up super early tomorrow morning to surf before my flight. The quality of the waves was that good. I'll report back tomorrow. https://youtu.be/GkyLh4lGddo

Today we set sail before dawn and headed to a new spot.

Today we set sail before dawn and headed to a new spot. I woke up early because I heard the waves were going to be bigger, but they weren't as big as I expected, so I ended up surfing at a different spot than my original destination. The right break I surfed yesterday had bigger waves than yesterday. We enjoyed a private surf session. Jay was doing some great carving on his RNF'96 Lightspeed 2. Nishii replaced the center fin of his Big Rig Driver with a small fin from the MR Twin. I tried surfing with a good release at the top and it worked surprisingly well. I'm testing how the fins on a surfboard change things. You can really get a good idea of ​​the fins' performance by testing them on waves where you can practice reef breaks repeatedly. Nishii has lots of original fin design ideas, so please look forward to them. Also, this FUWAX cooler is the perfect GOODS for Indonesia's tropical climate! I use it with ice in it! https://youtu.be/GkyLh4lGddo
